A right royal Thursday

 

Thursday was Chams, someone had left some jubilee props out, I had to give them a go :)

Outfit and wig was chosen by means of the general amount of compliments they both got on Instagram. I'm really favouring the short brown wig at the moment though - just feels more me.

I might have to look at getting a longer one, I'm growing my hair and unless I resort to a wig cap it will start to show more obviously at the back. I haven't got on with caps.

Charged on the way down, got it to 85% at Tibshelf , which gave me just enough to get home with about 14 miles to spare.

There were two new people there, which was nice - although I didn't get chance to speak much with them. One seemed to be having a good time with Joanna though.

Ended up having a good chat with Lynn and Alex though, was a very pleasant night.

Also one of the ladies who I been talking to on Instagram was there, I think she has a busy work schedule, so doesn't often get chance to come along. I wasn't sat too near, but did have a bit of a natter towards the end of the night.

Had been encouraging her to come to LFF if she gets chance.

I was feeling pretty good due to some minor successes at work toward the end of the week, and also with me having the Friday off the next day.  

I have been playing "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw a lot this week - I know it's not really about the Trans thing, but there is a lot synergy with the lyrics :

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn

Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave

I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I don't want to be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't want to be, oh, ooh
I don't want to be
I don't want to be anything
Anything other than me

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)

  1. I looked up that song, it is very good. Love me some analysis of lyrics! And though the blonde wig works (and it does very well) the recent shots of you in the brown are just... well, it's nice to have the choice!

    The regal look becomes you!
